The grant money, totaling $1.1 million overall, was split between five different projects, including the Suquamish beach seining program, which received $101,315, and the county’s purchase plan for Pilot Point in Hansville to preserve 30 acres and 1,000 feet of shoreline for nearshore habitat, which received $460,000. The aim of both projects is to support the continuing resurgence of salmon in local waters.
